  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 11/15/1927

    Tonight I leave for Amsterdam, Holland. Mail will hardly reach you so quickly nor can I write en route. I am having a great time. We will see the rest of England when I come back when I hope the weather will be better. Rain or slush all the time. There have been two fair days and I spent much of them tramping around, learning London on foot. It is a fascinating city. I guess you have walked around everywhere. I didn't get to the Hulford but will do so later. The first day I walked along the Thames to the Parliament building through Westminster Abbey, around Buckingham Palace into Piccadilly and down the mall into Trafalgar when it began to rain. Yesterday I tramped along the Bank of England, Cheapside, St. Paul's, Fleet Street, etc.

    It's more fun wandering around at leisure here than anywhere I have been. Always some interesting historical old places come up when least expected. I haven't been around operating rooms, but have seen some good experimental work and may come back here to do a little more extensive work, but that will depend on what I find in Vienna and Germany. There seems to be a railroad strike coming. Have been much impressed with the English people, not the snobs but the great mass of working people principally.

    Hope you are well. Haven't heard from you yet. Don't forget about your boy, will you!!
